Thyristor Switch
Thyristor switch for fast switching of capacitors. Typical applications are therefore- dynamically changing loads (elevators, cranes, welding equipment wind power plants, drilling rigs or in the automotive industry, etc)
- fast switching back and forth of loads
Advantages of thyristor switches- fast (switches in the next zero crossing)
- no wear (in contrast to contactors)
- low reaction (no transients)
